A little Prado action

Took the kayak out to Prado park yesterday to see if I could hook up on any leftovers from Saturday's trout derby. Took all day, but around 3pm I got this one. 8.04 lbs. Saw another around the same size caught.

Just 2. But both were in the last 15 minutes I fished. If I would have worked that same spot longer, I probably could have got a couple more. Looks like most of the shore fishermen were getting 3-4 fish.

Nice trout! Did they ever lower it down so far a while back to repair something, that they had to remove all the fish? I just wonder if there are any decent sized bass in the lake. Did they re-stock it with fingerling bass and Bluegill?

They did drain it completely last summer. Supposedly they restocked with 1/2-1lb bass, catfish, and bluegill. They also took some trees and brush that was cut down at Glen Helen park and made new bass habitat before they refilled it.

That fish is a beast! Congrats!! How much do they charge to launch a kayak?
